Alyssa Ettinger studied Ceramics and Creative Writing in school, worked in magazines, wrote a book,The eBay Home Makeover, and then returned to ceramics. Which is lucky for those of us who love handmade bowls.

The porcelain bowls are strong and elegant, yet with a delicate touch. They're simple, beautiful, timeless -- you could use them in many settings, and for many years to come.

The Meiko bowls, saucers, and cups are available in several sizes, and in four subtle colors: Vanilla, Honey, Ocean, and Fir Tree.

Alyssa Ettinger Pottery is sold in open stock, only through the website.
